update: mined 2000.3 package available for SuSE Linux 8.0
by Mike Fabian 04 Aug '03

04 Aug '03

An updated package of mined is available for SuSE Linux 8.0: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/mfabian/8.0-i386/mined-2000.3-0.i386.rpm ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/mfabian/8.0-src/mined-2000.3-0.src.rpm Mined is a text editor, small and easy to use, yet powerful. It is Unicode-capable, using UTF-8 encoding (also converts UTF-16 input). >From the CHANGES file: ============================================================================= Changes from mined 2000.2 -> mined 2000.3 ========================================= Documentation: -------------- The manual page was updated and thoroughly revised. Its primary source was transformed into HTML, roff/man format being generated. The mined web pages were updated and revised. The file "doc/compilation" (with compilation hints) was updated. Features: --------- HOP '/' enters an indented Javadoc comment frame. Interface: ---------- Options can be concatenated on the command line. (mined -uu instead of mined -u -u enables Unicode line separators.) Right-to-left script input support is now enabled by default. The option -b toggles it. Option -G disables (actually toggles) the display of certain control characters as block graphics characters (enabled by default). Option +G enforces use of block graphics for display of menu borders. May be used if the "alternative character set" capability is not configured in your system but your terminal does have the capability. Set output delay (-d0..-d9) to none (-d-) by default in all versions. The help command was unified on Unix and DOS versions. Not completely, however, as calling a sub-programm ("less") through the "system" call doesn't seem to work on DOS (it crashes or blocks terminal input afterwards, even with cygwin). See also next comment. A second help viewing mode is now avaible (HOP HELP, e.g. HOP F1). It displays help information within mined itself, restoring the previous editing state afterwards. This is the default on MSDOS for the reason mentioned before. Bug fixes: ---------- Fixed a screen-related pointer confusion after replacement with multiple lines (embedded newline) which could result in a display bug and page down could be blocked. (Very minor) Just deleting the trailing line-end of a file is also considered a modification (a file only modified this way would previously not have been saved automatically). (Minor) With UTF-8 auto-detection involved, the character count after reading the file could be wrong (ESC ? would have been correct). (Minor) The pop-up menu, when modified with HOP and thus becoming smaller, used to leave the frame of its previous width on the screen. (Embarassing) Although I was proud of "perfect responsiveness to window size changes" I had just forgotten to implement that for the case of a menu being open. On DOS, editing a file with Unix line-ends, the function "append to buffer" used to append the lines with MSDOS line-ends. -- Mike Fabian <mfabian(a)suse.de> http://www.suse.de/~mfabian 睡眠不足はいい仕事の敵だ。

Japanese menu problems under IceWM
by ピアスエリック 28 May '03

28 May '03

Howdy. I don't think this is SuSE specific, so this post may not belong here. But it is Japanese related, and I've posted this twice to IceWM's mailing lists and received 0 replies. I compiled IceWM 1.2.0 for international support (--enable-i18n). In the program menu, IceWM seems to have a problem (bug?) with any folder or program with Japanese characters for its name. Here's a screenshot which demonstrates the problem. http://epierce.freeshell.org/menu.png If you'll note, the four (automated by IceWM) Japanese entries up from the bottom have proper quick-keys assigned (i.e., the (A), (T), etc.), but the 7-8 Japanese entries that I added all have a problem (i.e., just a little dot shows up). After a quick look at 'ja/LC_MESSAGES/icewm.mo', I tried to copy what was going on there by adding something like (_M) after the Japanese in the 'menu' file in hopes of assigning my own quick-key, but that didn't work. IceWM only seems to be looking for roman characters for its automatic quick-key assignment. Anyone have any ideas here? Thanks for reading...

Loosing locale settings
by Togan Muftuoglu 24 Apr '03

24 Apr '03

Hi, I do not know if this was happing before yet recently I discovered that sometimes I am loosing my locale settings when I have more then 2 Xterms opened. The weird thing is it does not happen always SuSE 8.1 Kernel k_deflt-2.4.19-74 Windowmaker (WindowMaker-0.80.2-1 from Mike Fabian's directory) I have the locale settings in $HOME/.profile as export LANG=tr_TR.UTF-8 export LC_MESSAGES=en_US export LC_TIME=POSIX export LC_COLLATE=tr_TR.UTF-8 I am using "utf8xterm" which comes with shtools-2002.01.30-117. So When I have the Xterm for the first time the locale is toganm@earth:~> locale LANG=tr_TR.UTF-8 LC_CTYPE="tr_TR.UTF-8" LC_NUMERIC="tr_TR.UTF-8" LC_TIME=POSIX LC_COLLATE=tr_TR.UTF-8 LC_MONETARY="tr_TR.UTF-8" LC_MESSAGES=en_US LC_PAPER="tr_TR.UTF-8" LC_NAME="tr_TR.UTF-8" LC_ADDRESS="tr_TR.UTF-8" LC_TELEPHONE="tr_TR.UTF-8" LC_MEASUREMENT="tr_TR.UTF-8" LC_IDENTIFICATION="tr_TR.UTF-8" LC_ALL= When I encounter the problem of loosing locales the output is like this LANG=tr_TR LC_CTYPE="tr_TR" LC_NUMERIC="tr_TR" LC_TIME=POSIX LC_COLLATE=tr_TR.UTF-8 LC_MONETARY="tr_TR" LC_MESSAGES=en_US LC_PAPER="tr_TR" LC_NAME="tr_TR" LC_ADDRESS="tr_TR" LC_TELEPHONE="tr_TR" LC_MEASUREMENT="tr_TR" LC_IDENTIFICATION="tr_TR" LC_ALL= I have no idea whatsoever how come the locales change does anybody have ? -- Togan Muftuoglu Unofficial SuSE FAQ Maintainer http://dinamizm.ath.cx

Cedilla 0.3: new package for SuSE Linux 8.1
by Mike FABIAN 19 Feb '03

19 Feb '03

man cedilla> Cedilla is a text printer that uses Unicode internally and man cedilla> will make heroic efforts to find or design suitable glyphs man cedilla> for exotic or rare characters. man cedilla> Cedilla was written by Juliusz Chroboczek <jch(a)pps.jussieu.fr>. Cedilla is very useful if you want to print plain text UTF-8 encoded files. I doesn't support CJK (yet?) but does an excellent job for European languages. Now also available as an rpm package for SuSE Linux: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/mfabian/8.1-noarch/cedilla-0.3-1.noarch.rpm ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/mfabian/8.1-src/cedilla-0.3-1.src.rpm it requires clisp, i.e. you need to install clisp.rpm as well. -- Mike Fabian <mfabian(a)suse.de> http://www.suse.de/~mfabian 睡眠不足はいい仕事の敵だ。

When I start up Emacs there is an error: "x-resolve-font-name: No fonts match `-efont-fixed-medium-r-normal-*-12-120-75-75-c-60-iso10646-1'" Which font is it and where can I get it?

SuSE 8.1 - auctex menu doesn't appear in Emacs
by Andrej Keiper 17 Feb '03

17 Feb '03

My question is actually a little bit off topic, sorry! But I was very puzzled yesterday when I wanted to look at my CJK-LaTeX files (which I didn't do since SuSE 8.0) and no auctex-menu showed up in Emacs (almost unchanged SuSE 8.1). I can't believe that this is true for others as well, or did anybody else see this? Even when I type "M-x load-library tex-site" Emacs says "done" - but no menu anyway. How can I check what's going wrong? Thanks for any hint, Andrej Keiper

hanterm: updated to 2.0.4-172 for SuSE Linux 8.0 and 8.1
by Mike FABIAN 16 Feb '03

16 Feb '03

hanterm-xf is a modified version of the xterm from XFree86. hanterm-xf uses its own native input system and does not require an X input method server. Although this version of hanterm is based on xterm-172 (which supports UTF-8), it looks like hanterm-xf doesn't support UTF-8. I.e. hanterm-xf is probably only interesting to you if you use the ko_KR.eucKR locale exclusively and find the built in input method useful. New packages are here: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/mfabian/8.0-i386/hanterm-xf-2.0.4_172-0.i386.… ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/mfabian/8.0-src/hanterm-xf-2.0.4_172-0.src.rpm ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/mfabian/8.1-i586/hanterm-xf-2.0.4_172-0.i586.… ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/mfabian/8.1-src/hanterm-xf-2.0.4_172-0.src.rpm -- Mike Fabian <mfabian(a)suse.de> http://www.suse.de/~mfabian 睡眠不足はいい仕事の敵だ。
